Quick update!

I'm up £10 in vouchers thanks to Consumerpulse raising my total to £170!

Unfortunately, I was rejected from the games research focus group - though it was just as well, as it would take up every evening of next week!! Yep - which means no Apprentice and no Gossip Girl!!

I'm actually getting into this matched betting melarchy. Just signed up with a new offer and it says my initial loss will be £1.63 which isn't too bad! I'm guessing I will net about £15 judging from past performance. Since I have a small deadline, I might take the plunge on multiple offers, now that I know it works.

The only thing is, the site claims that I can make up to £250 based on the 11 offers they have on there, which is about £40 short of my target.. Anyway, I have dropped them a quick email to ask if they're going to have more offers as I've noticed that on donglemouse's thread, there are way more than just 12!!

EDIT: Should actually be £170 + £40 from matched betting (therefore £210)!! But since I haven't finished these offers on the site, I won't count until I cash out when my challenge's deadline is up!

What website is this?

Hi Soupersaver, it's at Fixtheodds.com.

I must admit, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't know where to start.

The good news, is that I did the Skybet offer and because I lost, they gave me £5 as a goodwill gesture! I then put it on some random German match and I've just made £1.82!!

You should really do the £500 by Christmas challenge Soupersaver, it's fun!!

Therefore so far: £170 + £40 + £1.82 = £211.82!! Almosssttt half way!!

Already making a list of Christmas presents! (Though I have to spend £10 of it at Debenhams as the Consumerpulse vouchers I've redeemed are from there. Shame they won't arrive before the 12th, otherwise I could use the £5 voucher as well (courtesy of MSE for the tip off!) :money:

Thanks, I will have a look later.

Erm, I think a think about it - although if I were to do it, I will probably have to aim for £100!!

Just a thought Knowlton, have you tried seeing whether you are eligible for a tax refund?

My Christmas last year was assisted by a nice and tidy £428 tax refund!

No way! I use them too! Have been using them for a while now!

I've made roughly the same as you, although that's because I've been lazy!

How long have you been doing this for and do you have to pay them for using it?

I've been using the site for about a week now and nope - it's free.

About to do the BlueSquare offer today!

Thanks Soupersaver - great idea and I've done it before! However as my circumstances haven't changed in the past two years, I doubt that I would be entitled to one!

Hi all, quick update!

My friend had a very old mobile - so I jumped at the chance at taking it from her hands. That's another £1 - not much, but still something!

Placed two more bets which settle on Saturday, of which I'm expected to make a loss of 84p and £1.16. They are two £25 bets, so I'm guessing I'll get at least £15 each. If that's the case, then I'll be £242.82 up! So around £257 away from my £500 target!
